Remembering 'Movie Trailer Voice Guy' Hal Douglas

89-year-old voice-over artist died following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Hal Douglas, one of the most recognizable voices in the trailer business, has passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 89.

From television to feature-length films, Douglas was one of the leading voice-artists in Hollywood. Films such as "Philadelphia," "Lethal Weapon," "Forrest Gump," "Crimson Tide," and "Meet the Parents" grace his resume; as do series like "Gilmore Girls," "Dawson's Creek," and "Seventh Heaven."

Despite his connection to Hollywood, Douglas spent the last 15 years living with his wife on a horse farm outside of Washington, D.C.

"I am grateful for when the ISDN [Integrated Services Digital Network] system entered my life," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2006. "So many guys and gals are using that nowadays. I am not a techie, but what it does essentially is digitize the voice and sends it out over in a digital form over long-distance lines. Any place a phone line goes, so goes my voice."
